As a new Computing Scholar in the summer of 2019, I considered myself a reasonably strong programmer, but I knew I lacked experience with industry standards such as version control, continuous integration, and documentation. While working at the Lab, I finally got hands on experience using Git, Elastic tools for monitoring and security, and I learned how to write and deploy Docker containers. While I'm proud of those accomplishments, I should mention I didn't come into the Lab with any of those skills already acquired.

The lab itself is a big place, almost like a separate city. It’s a lot to take in, and there’s plenty of great opportunities to get to know other students and staff through the various events they have hosted throughout the Summer and in one’s day-to-day; you’ll meet people from all walks of life here.

I chose to return as a summer scholar because I wanted to continue working in Cyber Security and Infrastructure where I am studying and developing algorithms for collaborative autonomy and decentralized iterative methods. I have found the environment of LLNL to be a compelling avenue for collaborative research motivated by real world applications, which in my case are issues related to modernizing the electrical grid.
